Is the Brawler supposed to be overpowered?

Post by ZethaPonderer »

Seriously, as much as I like this game I do believe this must be a huge oversight from the game developers part. The Brawler is just too OP. I can literally cheese the game in single player by maxing my Knife, Critical, Guts, and Healing while delivering my stats on only STR, SKL, and VIT. It doesn't help when I can get a Blood Knife, Chaos Ring, and the Apostate Set to make my Brawler nearly invincible.

So, is the Knife Brawler even more game-breaking in multiplayer?

what is "SKL"? is that "DEX" or "INT"
I have the PAL (European) version (it does not list SKL and want to use your brawler tips

Whoops I think I had a brain fart there. I meant DEX :lol: not SKL which stands for skill. Must've gotten confused when writing this. I'm playing the US version through emulation.

Back in the day, I remember running a knife brawler with the apostate robes and blood knife set-up. I used to play link cable dungeon runs with my friends all the time, and he definitely cleaned house. I don't know if it's deliberate for it to be quite so effective or not, but they had to know it was possible for people with the right stat build and items to do it. I honestly think it's neat. I'm feeling motivated to start playing again and exploring OP builds with other classes to see if I can cook up anything that comes close.
